    M35 won't restart when hot.

    Wow tuff one. First have you changed all three fuel filters. Then if you believe you have fuel moving through the system and we are leaning to being hot problem how bout the fuel control unit assembly under the Timing cover. By moving fuel through the system I mean the in tank fuel pump is...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    How to lube f/e axle u-joints on M35A2

    Guess you have to know what axles you have. There were install Timken ball and seat type that need grease packed around it. Then the up grade sealed U joint type that there is no way grease packed into the knuckle will ever make it into the little needle bearings that are in a X type U joint...

    Deuce won't start

    Did you run a little probe up the primary petcock to see if it might just be clogged? Also you can check for circulation by removing the fuel return line on the tank and run the in tank pump. Also we can check for in tank pump pressure between the secondary and final fuel filters at bleed screw...

    Holiday Weekend

    Yep I have found many problem with my trucks and other trucks just getting down and crawling under one end of the truck to the other. Does help to be skinny in most cases. Good catch.

    Uses for Deuces

    Looks like it would have made a good wheel chock for the 915.

    Fuel filters priming

    Well of course if you put in dry filters and pumped till the filters were full and system cleared it would start right away. I am not lazy but if there is away I only have to pump the primer 10 times not 200 times then that is what I would like to do. I also am not going to try and run the...

    Transfer Case Shifter Hard to put in High

    He was not split shifting. He ran through all the low gears and did just what we do. Go from 5th low to 4th high then 5th high. If he would have dropped to 3rd high it would be a wrong down shift. 3rd high has less ground speed than 5th low. He would maybe overrevved the engine. To me there is...

    Transfer Case Shifter Hard to put in High

    I could shift my A3 on the fly from low to high just had to wait longer for the rpm to drop and the forward momentum of the drive train to let go just a bit. I also tried dropping the shifter into neutral but there is no reason really to go from low to high on an A3. Low only when off road ruff...

    Fuel filters priming

    I like the fact that is comes Cat yellow and I do not have to buy a can of Cat yellow spray paint to make things look pretty. What was the micron rating on the Baldwin? I saw where someone use a tighter micron on the primary but wonder if that puts a strain on the lift pump? Tighter micron more...

    Little derailed but all good. If we look at safety then with the 816 should not the operator be in the drivers seat ready to push in the clutch if there is problem and have a spotter in the correct area to see and command operations. Yes I have operated the rear wench on my 816 from the back and...

    Fuel filters priming

    This time I tried a different way just for smitts & giggles. Removed the secondary filled new one and pumped the primer 10 times and fired up the truck. Shut down changed primary and cracked the line in pic. Pumped till fuel was coming out with little air in the mix and she fired right up. Did...

    What did you do to your M37 today?

    OK since I did not read the TM I had to pull the new soft top off to align the door glass with the frame work. The front window stops had to be changed just a bit as the frame work was racked and the rear vertical piece was out just a bit too. It might be able to be done it with the top on but...

    What did you do to your M37 today?

    Just about finished up with the cab to window rubber both sides and all I need is one more piece. They sent me the wrong rubber as it is just a bit wider and has no channel on the bottom to account for the screws. I also decided to pop rivet mine and it is still easy to adjust if need be.
